Essentially, Bayes filters allow robots to continuously update their most likely position within a coordinate system, based on the most recently acquired sensor data. This is a recursive algorithm. It consists of two parts: prediction and innovation. If the variables are <a href="/wiki/Normal_Distribution" class="mw-redirect" title="Normal Distribution">normally distributed</a> and the transitions are linear, the Bayes filter becomes equal to the <a href="/wiki/Kalman_filter" title="Kalman filter">Kalman filter</a>. </p><p>In a simple example, a robot moving throughout a grid may have several different sensors that provide it with information about its surroundings. The robot may begin with certainty that it is at position (0,0). However, as it moves further and further from its original position, the robot has continuously less certainty about its position; using a Bayes filter, a probability can be assigned to the robot's belief about its current position, and that probability can be continuously updated from additional sensor information. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Model">Model</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Recursive_Bayesian_estimation&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Model"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The measurements <span class="mwe-math-element"><span class="mwe-math-mathml-inline mwe-math-mathml-a11y" style="display: none;"><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="{\displaystyle z}"> <semantics> <mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"> <mstyle displaystyle="true" scriptlevel="0"> <mi>z</mi> </mstyle> </mrow> <annotation encoding="application/x-tex">{\displaystyle z}</annotation> </semantics> </math></span><img src="https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/media/math/render/svg/bf368e72c009decd9b6686ee84a375632e11de98" class="mwe-math-fallback-image-inline mw-invert skin-invert" aria-hidden="true" style="vertical-align: -0.338ex; width:1.088ex; height:1.676ex;" alt="{\displaystyle z}"></span> are the <a href="/wiki/Manifest_variable" class="mw-redirect" title="Manifest variable">manifestations</a> of a <a href="/wiki/Hidden_Markov_model" title="Hidden Markov model">hidden Markov model</a> (HMM), which means the true state <span class="mwe-math-element"><span class="mwe-math-mathml-inline mwe-math-mathml-a11y" style="display: none;"><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="{\displaystyle x}"> <semantics> <mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"> <mstyle displaystyle="true" scriptlevel="0"> <mi>x</mi> </mstyle> </mrow> <annotation encoding="application/x-tex">{\displaystyle x}</annotation> </semantics> </math></span><img src="https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/media/math/render/svg/87f9e315fd7e2ba406057a97300593c4802b53e4" class="mwe-math-fallback-image-inline mw-invert skin-invert" aria-hidden="true" style="vertical-align: -0.338ex; width:1.33ex; height:1.676ex;" alt="{\displaystyle x}"></span> is assumed to be an unobserved <a href="/wiki/Markov_process" class="mw-redirect" title="Markov process">Markov process</a>.
